Program Description
The Ben and Maytee Fisch College of Pharmacy is located on The University of Texas at Tyler campus in the beautiful Piney Woods of East Texas. We are housed in W.T. Brookshire Hall, which was designed to incorporate collaborative learning and student-centered study areas throughout the building. Our Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) curriculum uses team-based learning as the primary teaching method to integrate the foundational and clinical sciences as well as develop our students' critical thinking skills.
We have a NEW, 100% FREE TUITION AND FEES scholarship offered to incoming pharmacy students who meet certain GPA requirements. The scholarship is available on an annual merit-based renewal, so incoming and current students may qualify for the award each year in the program, and no additional application is required. Qualifications for incoming Pharm.D. candidate students to meet are:
Minimum 3.5 science/math GPA
Minimum 3.5 cumulative GPA
All other requirements of admission
Our student pharmacists are trained to deliver the highest quality patient-centered care in a robust interprofessional collaborative practice environment alongside medical, nursing, and other student groups throughout the Pharm.D. program. Additionally, our students begin introductory pharmacy practice experiences in the very first semester of the curriculum, making us the only institution in Texas to offer this earliest opportunity for patient care.
Vision/Mission: The University of Texas at Tyle Fisch College of Pharmacy strives to be a preeminent college of pharmacy that fosters leaders in pharmacy practice, education, scholarship, and public service to care for rural and other underserved populations. We accomplish this vision through our mission of advancing public health and wellness in East Texas and beyond through innovation and collaboration in pharmacy education, scholarship and advocacy.
